Peel Regional Police have arrested a large group of Singhs for extortion related offences targeting South Asian business owners and community members across Peel region.
Her name was Jolly.
Her full name was Jollyamma Joseph. She lived in Koodathayi village in Kozhikode district, Kerala.
She was known in the neighbourhood as a warm and devout woman. She attended church regularly. She helped neighbours. She was the kind of person people trusted completely.
She also told everyone she was a commerce lecturer at NIT Calicut. She left home every morning with a bag and returned every evening.
For years her family believed her. She had forged her credentials and her identity card. She had no job. She sustained the lie for years.
Between 2002 and 2016 she poisoned six members of her own family with cyanide.
Her first victim in 2002 was Annamma Thomas, her mother-in-law, who had been pressing her to find a job. Annamma died after drinking mutton soup. No autopsy. Heart attack.
Her husband Roy Thomas died in 2011 after eating dinner she had prepared. No autopsy. Heart attack.
When Roy's uncle Mathew Manchadiyil began insisting that Roy's death needed investigation, she poisoned his drink in 2014. He died. No autopsy.
She had fallen in love with her cousin Shaju Sakhariyas. His wife Sili stood in the way. Jolly poisoned Sili's food in 2014. Sili died.
Then she gave cyanide on a piece of bread to Sili's two-year-old daughter Alphine. Alphine died in hospital two days later.
In 2016 she poisoned the medication of Tom Thomas, her father-in-law. He died.
She then married Shaju.
The case unravelled in 2019 when Roy's brother Rojo filed a police complaint. Investigators exhumed all six bodies. Forensic tests confirmed cyanide in two of them.
A close friend told the court in 2023 that she had confessed all six murders to him personally.
Jolly Joseph was arrested in October 2019. The trial is ongoing at the Kozhikode Additional Sessions Court. Netflix made a documentary about the case called Curry and Cyanide.
Six people. Fourteen years. One family. One woman who attended church every Sunday.
Repost this. Some stories must not be allowed to disappear.
The 1958 anti-Tamil pogrom: May 22 to May 29, 1958, state sponsored terrorism resulted in an estimated 300 to 1,500 Tamil deaths!
May 22: In Polonnaruwa when Sinhala mobs attacked Tamil passengers traveling by train to a Federal Party political convention in Vavuniya.

Today marks the beginning of the anti-Tamil pogrom of May 1958; One of the earliest large-scale waves of violence unleashed against Tamils in Sri Lanka.
From May 22 - 29, Tamils were hunted, burned alive, displaced, and massacred. Homes and businesses were destroyed. Families were terrorized. Many were killed simply for being Tamil.
The violence of 1958 was not an isolated "riot." It was an early warning of the decades of anti-Tamil violence and genocide that would follow.
We remember the victims. We remember the truth. We refuse erasure.

@Dutugamunu_ These tamiljeet Actually have a STRONG and DEEP Admiration for us, for our strengh, the fact that we never lost. They can never be us. We took 35 years of Tamil Terrorism with a smile on our face.
They know they are inferior. And its an insult for us to be compared to slaves
@chamith888@spectatorindex I am not playing victim card. My own father was killed by Sri Lankan army. He was civilian and owned hotel. There are lot of families in north east went through same stories. Don’t read mahavamsa only
@Saltysaas@spectatorindex LTTE bombed civilians, I mean just literally bomb civilians in the busses, and trains. What’s is that ? I worked with a Tamil girl years ago, from Trinco, she said her grandmother hid her when LTTE came to recruit her. She was 13 that time. Like I said victim card benefits u
@chamith888@spectatorindex Did you read what I said. Many of Sinhalese have same what about attitude than acknowledging what happened. I never said LTTE didn’t kill civilians. I said many Tamil civilians were killed in north east by Sri Lanka army .
@chamith888@spectatorindex Idiot. You are only taking about people who were living Colombo. People who went through all these killings from north east. Statically speaking Sri Lankan army killed many times civilians than LTTE . Feel free to search it. My own father was killed in Vavuniya in 1984
@Saltysaas@spectatorindex lol. Even when war was going on Tamil friends were my best friends in Sri Lanka. They lived happily in Colombo. It’s only the terrorists who took arms that go killed. Atleast some got to get some asylum and free benefits from west like yourself, so be happy
@chamith888@GordonGChang Shit Lankan trying to show as saint. Shit Lanka committed one of the largest genocide against its own minorities people. Shit Lanka started its genocides back in 1915. There were lot along the way 1956, 1972,1974, 1977,1981,1983 and all the way to 2009. Read your own history
@chamith888@spectatorindex Genocide deniers are everywhere. Most Sin… dogs are commenting from Shit Lanka for events happening far away . Western countries have freedom of speech if you don’t like go back and beg from cave. Don’t come to western countries and impose mahavamsa teaching

Three individuals have been arrested by the Mullaitivu Police over an unauthorised motorcycle parade in North, where a group of riders were seen travelling dangerously without helmets in videos that went viral on social media.
Police said the suspects were identified following an analysis of CCTV footage, noting that investigations took time due to difficulties in identifying the registration numbers of the motorcycles involved.
According to Police, the suspects have been produced before court on several charges, including dangerous driving and traffic violations.
Investigations into the incident are continuing. (Newswire)
He also said that despite political differences, the Opposition would not seek to undermine foreign exchange inflows during a period of economic stress.
“I will never call upon the Tamil diaspora or others abroad to stop sending dollars or foreign remittances to Sri Lanka during a time of economic hardship,” he said.

Lord Soulbury was proven right again and again. 😂
In 1964 he warned that Sinhalese behaviour towards Tamils was "excessively short-sighted and foolish" and that it would destroy the country's prosperity.
He said Tamils were better educated and more industrious and that antagonising them was stupid.
More than 60 years later, Sri Lanka's economy is on life support, drowning in debt, barely kept afloat by IMF bailouts while still begging the Tamil diaspora for money and persecuting them at the same time.
Sinhalese love boasting about "developed Colombo" but what about the rest of the country?
Soulbury saw the stupidity and the delusion continues 🤡
